Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh raspberries
- 400 ml Coconut cream
- 60 ml Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Agar-agar powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Place fresh raspberries in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Strain the raspberry puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. You should have about 200 ml of raspberry puree.
In a small saucepan, combine the strained raspberry puree, maple syrup, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the agar-agar powder to the saucepan and stir continuously to dissolve it completely. Let the mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
While the raspberry mixture cools, open the chilled coconut cream and scoop out the firm cream layer into a mixing bowl, leaving behind any watery liquid. Beat the coconut cream with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Gently fold the cooled raspberry mixture and vanilla extract into the whipped coconut cream, ensuring not to deflate the mixture. The mousse should be well combined and a uniform pink color.
Spoon the mousse evenly into 4 individual serving glasses or bowls. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Garnish with a few fresh raspberries on top and a mint leaf before serving, if desired.
